Our Services – Promotion of Junior Researchers and Career and Management Development

We offer programs and individual advising and coaching services for different groups. Our goal is to support doctoral candidates, post docs, junior researchers, and professors in developing their skills and abilities and to use them to shape the future. Our services are bundled into different competence centers and programs:

Career Advising for Researchers

The Center for Doctoral Studies, CDS for short, is the central office for extracurricular qualifications for doctoral candidates. The CDS offers all doctoral candidates a comprehensive seminar program for expanding their transferable skills. As proof of all achieved qualifications during your doctoral studies, the CDS issues a doctorate supplement, that is given to to doctoral graduates with their doctorate diploma. The CDS is advised and supported by a scientific advisory council.

Center for Professional Leadership

The Center for Professional Leadership, CPL for short, offers programs for various target groups and faculty at different career stages. We support skills development in a number of career-relevant areas of competence.

The development of your own career is extremely important no matter what phase of your academic career you are in. Aside from targeted career advising and mentoring from superiors the RWTH Aachen Division of Career Development offers its researchers an individual conversation to orient themselves in their personal career development.

Support for Research Networks

Research Networks such as Collaborative Research Centers (SFB) and Research Training Groups (GRK) play a key role in the collaboration within scientific institutions.

The Division of Career Development offers two support programs for SFB and GRK which consist of workshops, coachings, consulting sessions and lectures.

Each program supports individual target groups within Research Networks:

Qualification in Research Networks is a joint program between the Exploratory Research Space (ERS) and the Center for Doctoral Studies (CDS). The objective is to support and develop interdisciplinary research within and between SFBs by offering exclusive qualification for doctoral candidates and postdocs.
